OK, I better chime my butt in here, before I wind up pulling "a Brent" and missing out on all the fun...

Not terribly stimulated so much about the AOTC figures I'd still like to see, probably 'cause it's only been a year since the movie was released and I'm not terribly panicked about missing out on any of it's characters just yet. But here goes anyways...

10) Goin' out on a limb here with my final pick - Jocasta Nu (everyone's favorite grannie librarian, and former Jedi)

Honarable mention to the #11 runner-up: Ronet Coorr. I mean c'mon, who the hell wouldn't want a figure of this ultra cool looking Loyalist Senator?! This guy's right up there with ICMG in my books...

BTW, some of you guys need to check out our thread on the Hasbro Press Event from last month. You'll see that you've wasted a few picks on figures that have already been confirmed as upcoming and even shown!

It seems that some folks are needlessly using some of their choices on figures that have already been confirmed or are not quite possible. The following are on the way this year:

-Bail Organa-Clone Trooper (yellow) in the Clone Trooper 3-Pack-San Hill in the Geonosian War Room Screen Scene-Poggle The Lesser in the Geonosian War Room Screen Scene-FLO Waitress droid (actually called WA-7 droid)

Also, regarding R4-P17, this astromech is actually built into Obi-Wan Kenobi's Jedi Starfighter. So there's nothing more to this plucky astromech other than his dome and attachments to the hull of the starfighter.

"You were entrusted to lead the Republic." - Vote for Ven Zallow from THE OLD REPUBLIC in figure polls!

- Anakin in Outland Peasant Disguise: This figure deserves an apology figure. I still don't understand how this figure fits into Episode II. Please use the movie as a reference for this one.

- Arena Battle Padme: What monkey-faced Leia was to the POTF2 line, Arena Escape Padme is to the Saga line. Lose the action feature, give her decent articulation, and make sure she's in scale. And for crying out loud... no more pillars!

- Vanilla Obi-Wan: Too many pre-posed Kenobi figures make me beg for just one that looks good standing still. Pack him with a little holographic version of himself for those long distance calls.

- Clone Trooper: Why Hasbro didn't just do ONE wildly articulated figure to reissue over and over again is beyond me. So far, every Clone Trooper has had its little disappointments. This from the people who produced the dangerously-close-to-perfect CommTech Stormtrooper? Please. Resculpt a definitive version and repaint to y/our hearts' desire!

- Senator Binks: The disco version isn't good enough, sorry. I must have missed the deleted scene where Jar Jar and his crime-solving CGI counterpart Scooby-Doo comb the dance clubs of Coruscant looking for Padme's would-be assassin. This figure needs to be redone, and it better look as good as Palpatine's figure.

- Super Battle Droid: I want one with the arm twisted in the FIRING position. I don't want a giant EU-style replaceable Bat-appendage, I just want enough articulation to pose the frickin' arm the way it looks in the movie. (Authenticity, people.)

- Jocasta Nu: I've had the hots for this Jedi Librarian since she first appeared on StarWars.com as the Jedi Council's answer lady. Talk about your GMILF! A tiny plastic version of this little lady with an archive viewing terminal would be bliss!

Well, it only looks like I get two more picks now. I thought we got Shu Mai, but that was probably someone else in the Geonosian War Room Screen Scene. I REALLY can't believe we still haven't got Cliegg, Owen or Beru yet!!!
